Accessible Apartment Stays
Hello, my Japanese wife and I (wheelchair user) have often stayed in universal/accessible hotels. However, we are expecting a newborn and hope to find a bigger place to accommodate a pram, wheelchair, suitcases etc with laundry while we visit her family, like a monthly furnished apartment rental (we’ve seen these are popular for able-bodied people) or air bnb that is accessible and we are having no luck finding anywhere in or near Tokyo! Has anyone found a barrier free 1 bedroom + kitchen style apartment for short stays before? Really appreciate any help, thank you.

I know one close to Eda Station (Tokyu Den’entoshi Line) which is 30 min. from Shibuya. The bathroom might not be fully accessible. A friend of mine stayed there for three months. OAK Apartment Eda https://www.oakhouse.jp/eng/apartment/910

Thank you for the tip! We will look into this option, the bathroom looks perfect to transfer on to a shower chair. Judging by the contract fee it looks like a longer term rental.

What is your expected stay length?

@joshgrisdale Hi Josh, it would be up to a month. We’ve been searching for a マンスリーマンション but has been tricky finding a universal spec room or accessible toilet. If such an option doesn’t exist, no worries – just hoping to find out, thanks!

@sergei OK, if it was shorter I might have suggested Mimaru, but that would get very expensive!
I think the Oakwood ones mentioned by Ohayo are likely best…
